Here's a very belated response to this query. The following Livingoods are buried in Perry Township cemeteries:
LIVINGOOD FAMILY CEMETERY
Livingood, Jacob d. 5 Oct 1834 aged 67 yrs
Susanna d. 27 Dec 1858, 80th year w/o Jacob
Livingood, Sarahd. 7 May 1828, 12y 11m 28da
Livingood, David Fd 7 Jan 187157 yrs 6 m 7da
Children of D.F. & E.A.:
Livingood, Davidd. 13 Jan 1861 1m11 da
Lucy P. d 5 Aug 18631y 6m 29da
Infd. 18 Feb 1863
Livingood, down beside a base, top missing, son & dau, children of D.F. & E.A. Livingood
The cemetery is in a wooded area abt. 8 mi. east of Zanesville, and probably very difficult to find.The MCGS inventory of Perry Twp. markers states that only one stone was standing when the cemetery was checked in 1986.The genealogy dept. at the Zanesville McIntire Library can provide more detailed directions to it.
ST PAUL's LUTHERAN CEMETERY (church is gone, but the cemetery remains) St. Paul's is located 1 mile east of Sonora, OH (Rd. right on Bald Hill Rd. (Co 67).Top of the hill.
Livingood, Sarah Annd. Dec. 26, 1872 (43-2-1) wife of Jacob
Livingood, Susannah D. d. May 1, 1866 (8-8-6) dau of Jacob and S.A.
Livingood, Jacob d. Apr 16, 1904 (83 yrs.)
Livingood, Mary E. b. Apr 13, 1856 d. Oct 10, 1898 (42-5-27) wife
Livingood, James b.1817d.1901
Livingood, Martha b.1841d.1918 wife
Livingood, Laird C. V.b.1869d.1953
Livingood, Lizzie J.b.1870d.1952 wife
Peter Livingood and wife do not seem to be buried in Perry Twp. (unless their graves have disappeared).To identify Peter's wife's name, you might want to look at the deeds to property Peter sold.Most Muskingum Co. deeds of that era have a short paragraph at the end stating that a Justice of the Peace or other official questioned the wife of the seller apart from her husband to determine whether she was aware of what the deed said and approved, and whether she had signed the document of her own free will.This section of the deed very often mentions the wife's first name.If you cannot research the deeds on site, the clerks at the Muskingum Co. courthouse might be willing to copy them for you for a fee.As I recall, there are indexes to various periods (e.g. 1803-1838) organized by both grantors and grantees.If you need the name of a grantee, Peter Livingood sold land to John Barron (one parcel purchased by Barron later came into my ggg-grandfather's possesion after passing through the hands of sev. other owners).
